THE MAN WITH NOUGHT by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THERE WAS A MAN AND HE HAD NOUGHT
Last Line: AND NEVER LOOKED BEHIND HIM
THERE was a man and he had nought,
And robbers came to rob him;
He crept up to the chimney top,
And then they thought they had him.

But he got down on the other side,
And then they could not find him;
He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.
